Today students received their first spelling list! The list is from an online resource. I have chosen to start everyone with the grade 3 lists because based of what I have seen in our class, these words will be a challenge for most. We will work through all the grade 3 lists, then move on to grade 4 halfway through the year.
In Math, our lesson's focus was on comparing numbers to decide which is bigger. We have been doing daily math problems, which approach learning from an inquiry point. These have proven to be an exciting challenge for the kids, and have also given me plenty of information as to their problem solving and communication skills! After lunch, students were introduced to a new "Partner Reading" routine. Students will now be reading with a partner every day after lunch. Grade 3 are starting with short stories, and grade 4 are reading chapter books. After reading, they are to respond to what they read by sharing a few sentences about their connections, predictions, questions or feelings about the book. In Social Studies today, students were assigned a region of Alberta, and responsible for researching information about that areas natural environment. It proved to be more challenging than I expected, and is something we will have to come back to tomorrow! Reminders: Crime Not to Read is only for grade three this year. It will be on Wednesday the 26, and will happen the last Wednesday of every month for the remainder of the year. Grade four will have their own special time with me during that period. Orange Shirt Day is on Thursday. Orange Shirt Day recognizes Alberta's residential school history, and opens up opportunity for conversations around bullying and racism. Terry Fox Run Friday! Make sure you are dressed for the weather and wearing appropriate shoes. :) Miss Mielke
